MANAGING YOUR  SCM GLOBE ACCOUNT

Once you register and activate your account, you can login to your account from any device that uses one of the four supported web browsers: Chrome; Edge; Firefox; or Safari. As shown in the video and screenshots below, Account Management is where you start when you login. You can import and download supply chain models or create new supply chain models. You can also upload and work on models sent to you by other SCM Globe users.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT SCREEN FUNCTIONS

Everyone learns to use SCM Globe by first working with the Cincinnati Seasonings case study. Import a copy of the Cincinnati Seasonings supply chain model into your account from the Library by clicking on the “View Library” button in the upper right corner of your screen – arrow 1 in the screenshot below:

From your Account Management screen you can:

  • Import any case study from the library into your account by clicking on the “View Library” – arrow 1  (see the Library screen explained below).
  • Create a new supply chain from scratch by clicking on the “Create a New Supply Chain” – arrow 2
  • Edit or Simulate an existing supply chain by clicking on “Edit” or “Simulate” – arrow 2
  • Save Backup Copy or Delete a supply chain model – save backup copies of supply chain models from time to time as you make changes – arrow 2
  • Restore a supply chain model from a saved backup copy or “save state” – arrow 3
  • Upload / Download supply chain models – you can share models with other SCM Globe users; click on “Upload Save File” button or “Download Save State” – arrow 3
  • See when your account expires and request or purchase more time – arrow  4
  • Dates shown on supply chain files are the dates they were created, not the dates when they were last updated.
  • Click the blue “Help” button in the upper right corner to open this online guide.

[If you are using the SCM Globe Professional version, supply chain data can be imported automatically by clicking on the “Import” button on the Account Management Screen. See your SCM Globe Pro User Manual for more detail.]

THE LIBRARY SCREEN shown below appears when you click the “View Library” button in the upper right corner of any SCM Globe application screen.

You can import any or all of the supply chain models available in the library into your account.

  • Click “Import” button next the the supply chain model you want to import into your account – arrow 1
  • Give a name to the supply chain – it can be any name you like, click the “Save” button – arrow 2
  • Go back to your account by clicking on the “My Account” button – arrow 3

To access this Online Guide — click the blue “Help” button in the upper right corner of any SCM Globe application screen. When you have questions, the Online Guide has answers!

SAVE BACKUP COPIES of your supply chain model from time to time as you make changes. There is no “undo”, but if a change doesn’t work out, you can restore from a saved copy. And sometimes supply chain model files (json files) become damaged and they no longer work, so you want backup copies of your supply chain to restore from when that happens.

DOWNLOAD AND SHARE SUPPLY CHAIN MODELS to send a copy of your supply chain (json file) to other SCM Globe users.
